Homo Erraticus – The New Studio Album from Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson To be released in April 2014

Could be quite interesting. Ian's vocals sound much better than they did just a few years back. Not a lot of processing either. Definitely will seek this one out. Ron

I really enjoyed the TAAB2, so looking forward to this one.

Is he using the same band from TAAB 2?

 

I believe he is. Saw them perform live last fall. They are a great band. While I always have a place for Martin and the original Tull, this new band is just fine with me. Super talented band. Ian doesn't surround himself with sub-par musicians, ever. A lot of ear candy for me this year! Woo Hoo!

 

Great. Their drummer is friggin awesome.

 

I agree. I'm in for this new one.

 

as far as the 2nd set when playing live I guess we have to deal with the fact we will be watching a cover band

 

I didn´t listen to the whole thing, because I didn´t want to spoil the joy of listening to the real thing on april 14, BUT the first 2 minutes gave me a strange "War child" - feeling, probably because of the accordion. This is nice!!!!!

 

"Homo erraticus" is on the whole better than "TAAB2". Much more powerful, compassionate, harmonious and not so playful.

He sounds fine as long as he writes for his range, which is the case here (and on TAB2). I'm pleasantly surprised by how vintage-Tull this sounds. "After These Wars" has the kind of melody he hasn't come up with in awhile.

Ian Anderson Puts Jethro Tull Behind Him With New Album
Posted on 3/25/2014 12:55:00 PM by Gary Graff
With his new solo album, "Homo Erraticus," due out April 15, Ian Anderson is fessing up to the fact that he has put Jethro Tull to rest.

In an "introduction" he wrote for the album, Anderson notes that, "The huge body of work that is the Jethro Tull catalogue stands firm close beside me and in good stead...But I think I prefer, in my twilight years, to use my own name for the most part being composer of virtually all Tull songs and music since 1968."

And in a recent conversation, Anderson confirmed to us that Jethro Tull, as a moniker, is and will likely remain dormant even though all the members of his own band have logged some time as part of the Tull roster:

"Nothing is going on at all; that's the whole point. To me, Jethro Tull is...the vast body of repertoire that's Jethro Tull, the record catalog, the music, and I think that, if we look back on it, it kind of came more or less to an end during the last 10 years or so...(with) a couple of live albums and a studio album of Christmas material. That might define the last albums under the name Jethro Tull. It's a body of work I rather think is now kind of historical, since the weight of it lies back in the 70s and 80s in terms of volume. And I rather think it's nice to kind of leave that as legacy."

"The Jethro Tull Christmas Album" came out in 2003, while the group's last collection of songs, "J-Tull Dot Com," was released during 1999. Anderson will be touring to support "Homo Erraticus" starting May 28 in the U.K., with a North American leg currently starting September 17 in Oakland, Calif.

I have a lot of respect for Ian making this decision. It doesn't tarnish or disrespect the Tull name. Now if only some of my other faves would follow his lead.

 

But the new album is on Jethro Tull's official Facebook page?

 

Yeah, the "new" Beatles albums are on the Beatles web page.

 

???

 

It's his band, I don't have a problem with him promoting his album on his Jethro Tull Facebook page.
